About the memorial: The Memorial was originally erected in the early 1920s, half a mile away on the corner of Moseley Road and St Paul's Road, as a free-standing memorial, outside the entrance to the parish church (St Paul's). That building was demolished around 1979 and the upper section (only) of the war memorial was saved and placed on the wall of the new Church Centre, facing Edward Road.The lower half of the column and the stone plinth on which it stood were lost. Also missing are boards with the names of those from the local community who died in WW1. Stone work of the cross is now heavilly weathered and in poor condition. The inscription on what is now a separate small block of stone is still clearly readable.
